Top trending Wedding Hair Vines This Year
Wedding hair vines are very on trend this year, but if you are asking yourself “What’s a wedding hair vine?”, let us explain. Wedding hair vines are long, flexible head pieces made on thin twisted wire that can be shaped to any design required to suit your hairstyle. Wedding hair vines generally don’t have any combs attached to them and can easily be pinned into your hair wherever needed. This gives them the flexibility to be worn with many different hairstyles.
So, how should you wear your wedding hair vine...
First, decide on how you will be wearing your hair; will you be wearing your hair down, in a long loose braid? Hair vines also look fantastic in half up half down hairstyles. Simply secure into the section of your hair that is pinned up, and then gentle curve down through your loose waves. If you are wearing your hair in a loose plait, the hair vine can simply be plaited into your hair as it is done.
As we mentioned hair vines are a very big trend for this year and here are our top selling wedding hair vines so far...

Why are Pearls so associated with Weddings? Bridal Headpieces & Wedding Jewellery
Pearls are very often a popular wedding day gift for a bride, but why are pearls associated with weddings, you may be thinking!
Thanks to their fabulous shimmering iridescence, these organic little gems have always been highly prized throughout history, in fact, Cleopatra is said to have dissolved a pearl in a glass of wine before drinking it, simply to show Marc Antony that she could consume the wealth of an entire country in just one meal, and the ancient Greeks associated the pearl with love, marriage, and marital harmony. During the crusades knights wore pearls on the battlefield, believing they held magic powers that would protect them from harm. In the 1500s pearls were so highly regarded that countries across Europe passed laws forbidding anyone apart from nobility to wear them. And even to this day, they are still a popular choice for royalty, especially at weddings. Queen Elizabeth II wore them at her wedding and over in the USA, Jacqueline Bouvier wore a strand the day she became Mrs Kennedy, which was almost royalty.

Wedding Jewellery Checklist
You’ve picked your dress, shoes and chosen a hairstyle, but when it comes to your wedding day it’s the little details that make a big difference, so we’ve pulled together our "Wedding Jewellery Checklist" to ensure you choose the perfect accessories for your big day…
Number 1:
The cut of your dress can affect what articles of jewellery you can wear. Necklaces work well with lower necklines such as sweetheart and Bardot where there is space to fill, but they can be overwhelming when paired with higher necklines. Also, long or lace sleeves generally mean you should avoid wrist accessories like bangles and bracelets.
Number 2:
Use your bridesmaids for inspiration, as you will no doubt you've picked beautiful outfits and accessories for your bridesmaids, so if you're struggling, why not be inspired by their look? Selecting matching gemstones to tie the whole bridal party together, or if your bridesmaids will be wearing minimal jewellery because of busy dress styles, then choosing a gemstone that matches the tones and colours of their dresses.
Jewellery Advice for Mother of the Bride
As the mother of the bride, it's only natural for you to want to look your best on your daughter's big day. But, it's not just about your outfit. The accessories you choose to complement it with can have a big impact on your overall look. While you may have already found the perfect mother of the bride outfit, giving some thought to the accessories you'll complement it with on the day will ensure you really look the part. From finding the right colour scheme for your jewellery to narrowing down the type of pieces you'll wear, there's plenty to think about…
Consider the cut and shape of your outfit:
The most common mother of the bride outfit consists of a beautiful dress but thinking about the details of this can help you to make smart jewellery choices. For example, if you have a high neck dress, adding a necklace can make your outfit look too busy, while bracelets stacked on top of long sleeves can cause the same issue.
Instead, look for opportunities to fill any empty spaces with accessories. For square or sweetheart necklines, decorative drop necklaces or statement earrings can add a luxurious touch and tie your look together. If your dress is long-sleeved and high-necked, try selecting a pair of subtle stud earrings and opting for brooches or pins for an understated style boost.
